[Verse 1]
They're siDnging Bread of Heaven but they're baAking it with our doughF#m  A  
DLiving as common criminal, but acAting local heroF#m  A  
Wish I'd savDoured that awkward little silAence that grew F#mup to be a deafening hAush
DCurling up, cuddling a bAig red button to pF#mushA  
[Pre-Chorus]
The stuEdents spilling out at the bus stop
Are forDcing me to walk in the street
I mEove against the tide of the tourists
I am laF#mcking but they're looking repAlete
[Verse 2] 
He's plaDying dickhead's advocate and evAery date's a house showF#m  A  
I'm droDpping my defences 'til libAido's my libero F#m  A  
And iDf you're keeping track of the noAtches, even F#mif he had a four-poster Abed
He'd be sleDeping on a pile of wooAdchip, plucking splinters fF#mrom his headA  
[Pre-Chorus]
The stuEdents spilling out at the bus stop
Are forDcing me to walk in the street
I mEove against the tide of the tourists
I am laF#mcking but they're looking repAlete
My viEsion is fading, it's blurry
There are fingerDprints all over the sun
We're glEad to be loved but we're lonely
And we fF#meel like we're the only oAnes
[Chorus]
AI'm hung emEpty: ADll night all F#mafternoAon
Hung eEmpty, hoDrse and, not bF#mride and grAoom
Hung eEmpty, the woDrld spins but we'll baF#mrricade the rAoom
Hung eEmpty, haDng onto me, and we'll quaF#mrantine the gloom
[Post-Chorus]
DI've been penning odes to contiAnental bottled lagerF#m  A  
Bring its mDouth to my lips: "AOh holy holy, I do F#mnot know what I'd do wiAthout you"
[Bridge]
We knAeel at different alDtars but we aAll desire the saDme:
For soAmeone else to seDize the bow to fBmind a truer aAim
We're sAmall steps down a stDeep slope, eBmxist as living prAoof:
Not rF#might to call this oAld age
But it cerBmtainly ain't youth no more
This certDainly ain't youth
[Verse 3]
I wanna shDrink to a size to be codAdled between the cobble stonesF#m  A  
For you to grDow to a height to drape a shaAdow over all of F#musA  
Oh, woDuld you let me rest in your flAesh rolls? Lay my lF#manguor in the calm of your Ashade?
DSink into its dark until I lAose my hands in front of my F#mfaceA  
[Pre-Chorus]
The stuEdents spilling out at the bus stop
Are forDcing me to walk in the street
I mEove against the tide of the tourists
I am laF#mcking but they're looking repAlete
My viEsion is fading, it's blurry
There are fingerDprints all over the sun
I'm glEad to be loved but I'm lonely
And I F#mfeel like I'm the only oAne
[Chorus]

F#m

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

D A F#m A

They're singing Bread of Heaven but they're baking it with our dough

D A F#m A

Living as common criminal, but acting local hero

D A F#m A

Wish I'd savoured that awkward little silence that grew up to be a deafening hush

D A F#m A

Curling up, cuddling a big red button to push

[Pre-Chorus]

The students spilling out at the bus stop

Are forcing me to walk in the street

I move against the tide of the tourists

F#m A

I am lacking but they're looking replete

[Verse 2]

D A F#m A

He's playing dickhead's advocate and every date's a house show

D A F#m A

I'm dropping my defences 'til libido's my libero

D A F#m A

And if you're keeping track of the notches, even if he had a four-poster bed

D A F#m A

He'd be sleeping on a pile of woodchip, plucking splinters from his head

[Pre-Chorus]

The students spilling out at the bus stop

Are forcing me to walk in the street

I move against the tide of the tourists

F#m A

I am lacking but they're looking replete

My vision is fading, it's blurry

There are fingerprints all over the sun

We're glad to be loved but we're lonely

F#m A

And we feel like we're the only ones

[Chorus]

A E D F#m A

I'm hung empty: All night all afternoon

E D F#m A

Hung empty, horse and, not bride and groom

E D F#m A

Hung empty, the world spins but we'll barricade the room

E D F#m

Hung empty, hang onto me, and we'll quarantine the gloom

[Post-Chorus]

D A F#m A

I've been penning odes to continental bottled lager

D A F#m A

Bring its mouth to my lips: "Oh holy holy, I do not know what I'd do without you"

[Bridge]

A D A D

We kneel at different altars but we all desire the same:

A D Bm A

For someone else to seize the bow to find a truer aim

A D Bm A

We're small steps down a steep slope, exist as living proof:

F#m A

Not right to call this old age

But it certainly ain't youth no more

This certainly ain't youth

[Verse 3]

D A F#m A

I wanna shrink to a size to be coddled between the cobble stones

D A F#m A

For you to grow to a height to drape a shadow over all of us

D A F#m A

Oh, would you let me rest in your flesh rolls? Lay my languor in the calm of your shade?

D A F#m A

Sink into its dark until I lose my hands in front of my face

[Pre-Chorus]

The students spilling out at the bus stop

Are forcing me to walk in the street

I move against the tide of the tourists

F#m A

I am lacking but they're looking replete

My vision is fading, it's blurry

There are fingerprints all over the sun

I'm glad to be loved but I'm lonely

F#m A

And I feel like I'm the only one

[Chorus]

A E D F#m A

I'm hung empty: All night all afternoon

E D F#m A

Hung empty, horse and, not bride and groom

E D F#m A

Hung empty, the world spins but we'll barricade the room

E D F#m

Hung empty, hang onto me, and we'll quarantine the gloom

[Outro]

D E F#m

Feels like I've been waiting on it, nearly all my life

D E F#m

But what, if this is it now, what if this is how we die?

D E F#m

Feels like I've been waiting on it, nearly all my life

D E F#m A

But what, if this is it now, what if this is how we die?
